    I've been waiting all season for the wheels to fall off the Warriors and so far it hasn't happened, it's quite unsettling and unusual to say the least.

      From 15th to 3rd (I think that’s where we will finish) is an amazing turnaround.

      We have a good level headed coach, a spine that have played fairly consistently and doesn’t just wilt under pressure, a forward pack that do the little things and work hard for the metres, and like previous quality Warrior sides, an outside back that is amongst the top try scorers in the comp.

        Yep it certainly is an impressive turn around, SJ back in form has certainly helped but I think just as importantly he has people in the team that help him out now instead of everything having to come from him.

        I'm glad for the fans who have certainly suffered enough over the last few years.

          @bayimports Will the whole intent argument go the other way in this case? Usually it’s used to say why an incident isn’t as bad because there was “no intent” to hurt etc. But in this one Latrell clearly did a dog act for no other reason to get a cheap shot in. The tackle had been completed and he comes in late with the elbow. The intent was there no doubt about it, the execution just a little off…

          Still a grub even if he gets a fine.

          Just to add, I hate Souths and they are right up there with the Storm for my hatiest teams 😉

          My thoughts were based on good luck proving intent versus the reality that he clearly lost it. They generally can only rule on what is in front of them and as @Nepia says, if you get a good lawyer then this one appears easier to mitigate..

            Fuuuuuck Penrith

            Hot takes at half time:
            Cleary is nowhere near the MVP at Penrith, it's Edwards and the outside backs (I've always thought it was Edwards)
            A team only turning up once the season is done fucking sucks for fans
            Clint gutherson looks like he has been rescued from the matrix
            The Cowboys might be fucked next weekend

              Oh also Penrith are so kissed on the dick
              They've used 25 players all year despite having half a team play origin

                  Penrith lose, no biggy
                  Penrith losing Luia for a while might be.

                  Biggest losers from last night were probably the Cowboys, who now no matter what they do against the Dolphins, will probably not get Penrith's reserves next weekend like they hoped.

                    Parra beat Penrith twice this year and miss the eight.. hard to believe when teams like Souths, Raiders etc are still live

                      Penrith have lost 6 times this season. By the end, it's conceivable 5 of them will be to teams that won't make the 8

                          32 will be cut off I guess? Is it possible Souths could still lose to Roosters and make it..Roosters for and against I think is still negative?

                          If Cows beat Penrith (made harder by last night but their success rate without Luai is about 55%)..I think you might pass them anyway

                              250 coming up for SJ, St George also looking better last couple of weeks looking for an upset..hopefully the home team just puts them away and TMM gets a tun

                                Good call from ref and bunker.

                                Union could learn from that. Guys who knock the ball forward and then catch it should not profit.

                                  Warriors look by far the better team. I don't know how the dragons have been going this year but this should not be close on the evidence of first 15 minutes

                                    What the fuck was up with that non try by AFB… just get the fucking ball down bro. You owe us 6 points.

                                    We deserved to be up 16-0 after outplaying the Dragons in that half, but 10-0 it is.

                                      Warriors ought to be at least 16:0.

                                        I have to admit I am moderately concerned about this game. Warriors should be well up but aren't. I can see them stuffing this up and going down.

                                          Metcalfe looks to have done a hammy or something, lucky that TMM is back from his injury, so likely a straight swap next week
